Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sensor technology, and in particular to a temperature sensor protection device. Background Technology

[0002] In livestock farms, monitoring air temperature is crucial for animal health and the scientific management of livestock production. Temperature sensors, as key devices for acquiring temperature data, directly impact the scientific basis of livestock decisions.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Reference Figures 1-6 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a temperature sensor protection device, which includes a temperature sensor 101.

[0032] Temperature sensor 101 is a sensor that can sense temperature and convert it into a usable output signal. In the environment of a farm, monitoring air temperature is of vital importance for the healthy growth of animals and the scientific management of aquaculture production. This is existing technology, and this solution will not elaborate further. Moreover, those skilled in the art can clearly understand the working principle.

[0033] The protective component 200 is disposed on one side of the temperature sensor 101 and includes a protective cover 201, which is sleeved on the outside of the temperature sensor 101.

[0034] The protective cover 201 is used to prevent a large amount of dust and feed impurities in the farm from entering the temperature sensor 101, avoiding the accumulation of impurities on the surface of the temperature sensor 101 and affecting its temperature sensing and measurement accuracy, ensuring that the temperature sensor 101 can continuously and accurately acquire ambient temperature data, and providing a reliable basis for temperature control in the farm.

[0035] The cleaning component 300, located on one side of the protective cover 201, includes a cleaning element 301 disposed on one side of the protective cover 201. It includes a cleaning ring 301a, a threaded post 301b, a fixing post 301c, a motor 301d, and a collection box 301e. The cleaning ring 301a is sleeved on the outside of the protective cover 201. A threaded hole 301a-1 is opened in the cleaning ring 301a. The threaded post 301b is inserted into the threaded hole 301a-1. A round hole 301a-2 is opened in the cleaning ring 301a. The fixing post 301c is inserted into the round hole 301a-2. The motor 301d is fixed to one end of the threaded post 301b. The collection box 301e is fixed on the protective cover 201.

[0036] The cleaning component 301 is used to clean the protective cover 201 to prevent excessive impurities from accumulating on the protective cover 201 and affecting the normal operation of the temperature sensor 101.

[0037] The cleaning ring 301a moves up and down to clean the area around the protective cover 201. One end of the threaded post 301b is connected to the bearing of the collection box 301e, and one end of the fixing post 301c is fixed to the collection box 301e. The fixing post 301c is used to ensure that the cleaning ring 301a can move smoothly. Through the cooperation between the threaded post 301b and the threaded hole 301a-1, the motor 301d is started, which will drive the threaded post 301b to rotate, thereby driving the cleaning ring 301a to move up and down along the threaded post 301b. The cleaned impurities will fall into the collection box 301e, thus cleaning the area around the protective cover 201.

[0038] The cleaning component 300 also includes a water injection component 302, which is located on top of the protective cover 201. It includes a water tank 302a, a water outlet pipe 302b, a valve body 302c, a valve 302d, an extension column 302e, a lifting plate 302f, a fixing block 302g, and a hose 302h. The water tank 302a is located above the protective cover 201. The water outlet pipe 302b is fixed to one side of the water tank 302a. The valve body 302c is fixed to the water outlet pipe 302b. A chamber 302c-1 is provided inside the valve body 302c. The valve 302d slides in the chamber 302c-1. The extension column 302e is fixed to one end of the valve 302d. The lifting plate 302f is fixed to one side of the extension column 302e. The fixing block 302g is fixed to the cleaning ring 301a. The hose 302h is fixed to the water outlet pipe 302b.

[0039] Water inlet component 302 is used for humidification cleaning, making it easier to wet and remove dust and impurities, reducing cleaning difficulty, improving the thoroughness of cleaning, and preventing dust from flying, avoiding secondary pollution, and further optimizing the environment in the farm.

[0040] The water injection time is controlled by the cooperation of valve body 302c and valve 302d. The lifting plate 302f and the fixed block 302g are used to control the opening and closing of valve 302d. The end face of the fixed block 302g can contact the lifting plate 302f, so that the movement of the fixed block 302g can drive the lifting plate 302f to move. The lifting plate 302f will drive the extension column 302e to move, and drive the valve 302d to move, thereby controlling the opening and closing of valve 302d.

[0041] In the initial state, the cleaning ring 301a is located above the protective cover 201, which causes the fixing block 302g to be in the highest vertical position. At this time, under the push of the fixing block 302g, the lifting plate 302f moves upward to the highest position, and causes the extension column 302e to drive the valve 302d to move upward, so that the valve 302d is in contact with the upper inner wall of the chamber 302c-1, thereby blocking the flow of water through the valve body 302c. When the cleaning ring 301a moves downward, the fixing block 302g moves downward accordingly, and the lifting plate 302f moves downward under the action of gravity, thereby driving the extension column 302e and the valve 302d to move downward. The valve 302d is in contact with the lower inner wall of the chamber 302c-1, and at this time, it will not block the flow of water through the valve body 302c, and the water can flow into the hose 302h.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Reference Figures 1-6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0044] Specifically, a cavity 301a-3 is provided inside the cleaning ring 301a, and a water outlet 301a-4 is provided inside the cleaning ring 301a. The other end of the hose 302h is fixed inside the cleaning ring 301a and communicates with the cavity 301a-3.

[0045] There are multiple water outlet holes 301a-4, which are evenly distributed inside the cleaning ring 301a. When water flows into the hose 302h, it flows along the hose 302h into the cavity 301a-3, and then flows out from the water outlet hole 301a-4.

[0046] The hose 302h is relatively long, and when the cleaning ring 301a moves to the bottom of the protective cover 201, the hose 302h can still continuously deliver water to the cavity 301a-3.

[0047] Specifically, a brush head 301f is fixed inside the cleaning ring 301a.

[0048] There are multiple brush heads 301f, which are evenly distributed inside the cleaning ring 301a and are used to clean the surface of the protective cover 201.

[0049] Specifically, a guide groove 302f-1 is provided inside the lifting plate 302f, and a guide post 302i is fixed on the top of the protective cover 201. The guide post 302i engages with the guide groove 302f-1.

[0050] The guide post 302i is rectangular. Through the cooperation between the guide post 302i and the guide groove 302f-1, the lifting plate 302f can be moved vertically without rotating. This ensures that when the fixed block 302g moves upward, it can drive the lifting plate 302f to move.

[0051] Specifically, a sealing ring 302j is fixed to the inner wall of chamber 302c-1.

[0052] The sealing ring 302j is used to prevent water from flowing out of the chamber 302c-1. A sealing ring is also provided around the valve 302d to ensure that after the valve 302d is in contact with the upper inner wall of the chamber 302c-1, it can completely block the water from flowing out of the outlet pipe 302b.

[0053] Specifically, a support column 301g is fixed to the top of the protective cover 201, and one end of the motor 301d is fixed to the support column 301g.

[0054] The support column 301g is L-shaped and is used to support and position the motor 301d.

[0055] Example 3

[0056] Reference Figures 1-6 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0057] Specifically, a support block 302k is fixed to the bottom of the water tank 302a, and the support block 302k is fixed to the protective cover 201.

[0058] Support block 302k is used to support and position water tank 302a.

[0059] Specifically, a through hole 201-1 is provided inside the protective cover 201.

[0060] There are multiple through holes 201-1, and they are small in size, which can effectively prevent a large amount of dust and feed impurities in the farm from entering the sensor, and ensure that the temperature sensor 101 is in full contact with the surrounding air and will not interfere with the sensor.

[0061] The top of the protective cover 201 is far from the top of the temperature sensor 101 to avoid interfering with the normal use of the temperature sensor 101.

[0062] Specifically, the bottom surface of cavity 301a-3 has a certain tilt angle.

[0063] By setting the bottom surface to a shape that is high around the edges and low in the middle, the water can flow out from each water outlet 301a-4 after flowing into the cavity 301a-3 along the hose 302h, thus ensuring the humidification effect.

[0064] Specifically, the water outlet 301a-4 is located above the brush head 301f.

[0065] The water flowing out of the water outlet 301a-4 can humidify the brush head 301f, thereby improving the cleaning effect and preventing dust from flying around, thus avoiding secondary pollution.

[0066] When in use, the temperature sensor 101 is placed inside the protective cover 201 to prevent a large amount of dust and feed impurities in the farm from entering the temperature sensor 101. In the initial state, the cleaning ring 301a is located above the protective cover 201, which makes the fixing block 302g the highest vertical position. At this time, under the push of the fixing block 302g, the lifting plate 302f is in the highest position, and the valve 302d is in contact with the upper inner wall of the chamber 302c-1, preventing water from flowing through the valve body 302c.

[0067] When the protective cover 201 needs to be cleaned, the motor 301d is started, which will drive the threaded post 301b to rotate, thereby driving the cleaning ring 301a to move up and down along the threaded post 301b. The brush head 301f cleans the area around the protective cover 201, and the cleaned impurities will fall into the collection box 301e.

[0068] Simultaneously, the cleaning ring 301a moves downward, the fixing block 302g moves downward accordingly, and the lifting plate 302f moves downward under the action of gravity, thereby driving the extension column 302e and the valve 302d to move downward. The valve 302d fits against the lower inner wall of the chamber 302c-1. At this time, it will not obstruct the flow of water through the valve body 302c. The water can flow into the hose 302h and into the cavity 301a-3, and flow out from the water outlet 301a-4 to humidify the brush head 301f, thereby improving the cleaning effect and preventing dust from flying and avoiding secondary pollution.

[0069] After the cleaning ring 301a moves to the bottom of the protective cover 201, the motor 301d reverses and drives the cleaning ring 301a to move upward and finally stop at the initial position. Under the push of the fixed block 302g, the lifting plate 302f moves upward to the highest position and causes the extension column 302e to drive the valve 302d to move upward, so that the valve 302d fits against the upper inner wall of the chamber 302c-1, thereby preventing water from flowing through the valve body 302c and completing one cleaning cycle.

[0070] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
